I’m sure a fix ‘feels right’ to a heroin addict, it doesn’t mean heroin is good for him.

This.

I have a good friend in our adopted home who is an ex-pastor, and quite the Jesus freak in the good way (I.e. we share a lot of the same values).. I just tell him I can't believe what I don't through force of will, I'm not wired that way, and we get along fine. He doesn't value logic or arguments so he's immune to them and that's OK. Neither one of us is going to convince the other.
